Question

calculate the magnitude of the force acting on the pin at D. Pin C is fixed in DE and bears against the smooth slot in the triangular plate.

Answer 1

hello your question lacks the required diagram attached below is the diagram

answer : 58.47 N

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the force acting on the Pin D

Fd =
`√(Dx^2 + Dy^2)`

=
`√(16.80^2 + 56^2)`

= 58.465 N

Dx = 16.80 N

Dy = 56 N

hello attached below is the detailed solution
